When Jeremy finally returned to reality, he stared at the genie for several minutes. There were no words to explain what he had just experienced. Suddenly, a slow smile spread across his mouth and he reached over to give Saras a tight hug. "That was SO awesome, dude!"

He backed away and ran a hand through his spiky bright, red hair. "The things I saw were similar to stuff I saw a couple years ago when I was heavy into drugs. I really felt like I had been to your world before, or a similar world at least. " Upon seeing the look of confusion on the genie's face, he rushed on with an explanation. "After my parents died, I hooked up with the wrong crowd. We walked around acting tough because we had guns in our pockets, and that meant that nobody messed with us. Every night we'd crash in some abandoned building and drink, and pop a bunch of pills we stole from a neighborhood pharmacy. Those pills made us feel great and let us see some really strange things."

Jeremy rolled up his pants legs and pointed to an ugly scar near his ankle. "I got shot in the leg once. The bullet shattered the bone. That was when my uncle Paul decided I needed help and stuck me in this rehabilitation center." A frown crossed the otherworldly youth's face. He missed his uncle and the new friends he had made back home and wondered if he would ever find a way to return there again.

Brushing aside the depressing thoughts, he plastered a grin on his face and hugged the genie once again. "I really like you, Saras! I'm so glad that Ravin found that flask and got you out so that we could become friends!"

He released the genie then raised a brow when he saw Rowan take a seat by fire, wearing only his underpants. Now that he thought about it, the elf never really finished giving him lessons on the difference between love and lust. "Rowan and me were starting to become really close friends, but he's ignoring me lately for some reason," he whispered to Saras.

Relief flooded him when Tia arrived and announced that Marz was going to be all right. The news left him feeling so great that he gave her one of his special cigarettes to give to Tristan since he knew how much the dragon craved them. Of course he still hated the dragon but there was nothing wrong with being nice to him once in a rare while. Maybe Tristan would return the favor one day and let him spend some time with Marz alone.

After Tia left, Jeremy faced Saras. "So what do you want to do now? Wanna go take a swim in the pond before we get a few hours of sleep?" The otherworldly youth cocked his head. "You do sleep, right? Or did you do so much of that while in the flask that you don't have to worry about it now?"
